I completed Mevris' Menace before doing this quest, and for some reason, the quest marker was showing up on the map in Azshara at the Crumbled Palace, so I thought I could just fly up there and do this one too. It is NOT in Azshara. It is, in fact, in Tiragard Sound. Go back to Boralus, and east along the coast.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

When I was sailing in, I heard some of the sailors talking about the Horde presence here in Tiragarde Sound. Apparently they're scrounging around the remains of a massive creature that has washed ashore. Whatever it was, if the Horde wants it, we need to make sure they don't get it. Find the Horde, keep them from taking anything, and see if there are any bones from the creature we can use for our drums. Show them no mercy, {name}.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

    We have everything we need to craft the drum, except Elune's blessing. The drum is but a vessel, like a cup. We need her to imbue the drum with power, filling the cup so that we may drink. With Tyrande donning the mantle of the Night Warrior, much of Elune's power is taxed.
